Infratil's partnership with Longroad combines local knowledge with the capital of Infratil and The New Zealand Superannuation Fund. Infratil and New Zealand Superannuation Fund will initially own 90% of the business while Longroad Energy Partners (LEP) an entity held by the Longroad executive team will own the remaining 10%.
